Kaplan didn't have much to say yesterday ... but this tidbit was interesting. I find it interesting that gold has been used in the traditional medicine of India (called ayurveda) for hundreds of years.

According to new research in Australia and New Zealand, as reported by the UK Press Association, compounds made from gold and silver could make good anti-cancer drugs. Precious metals drugs may be able to kill cancer cells by targeting part of the cells, known as the mitochondria, which have more highly charged membranes than those in normal cells. This research was done by Susan Berners-Price of Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia, and Mark McKeage of the University of Auckland, New Zealand. In mice these compounds could kill ovarian cancer cells which were resistant to the common cancer drug cisplatin.
